Vegan King Cake

I’ve been dying to make a King Cake for the Mardi Gras Season because it’s literally impossible to find a Vegan King Cake in South Florida, which sucks. Since I always try to make things a little healthier, this dilemma gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. I’d seen some good recipes, like Big…

Vegan Raisin Cookies

My son was watching cartoons earlier and the characters were eating Raisin Cookies so he asks me for the cookies. Confused by this, I asked what cookies? He replies, “the raisin cookies that Crissie Carson was eating”. So, in an effort to satisfy this craving, we set out to make some. They came out fantastic….

Protein Twix

Probably one of the best things I’ve ever made. I had to stop myself from eating the whole batch! My husband’s sister came to visit us from Dubai and brought me these wonderful dates. It was a very large box so I’ve been trying to use them to make lots of different things. I got…

Fudgy Tahini Date Chocolate Bites

So I was on Pinterest and set out to make these Fudgy Tahini Date Chocolate Bars, but decided to kick it up with some protein and try to lower the calories. It ended up being so smooth, I just decided to roll it into balls and put it in the fridge. Perfecto. Ingredients: Directions: Literally…

West African Banana Bread

I’m so excited about how this bread turned out that I couldn’t NOT to share. I based this idea off of this Ad I saw on FB for a West African Banana Bread Mix. My husband is from Namibia so I figured I’d give it a try and give him a taste of the homeland.If…

Watermelon Rind Bread

Say what? Yea, you read that right. I’ve been on this whole ‘zero waste’ kick lately and I’ve been looking for ways to use fruit ‘scraps’ rather than just throwing them out. Not only does it save money, but it’s fun as heck. Being summer, we always have an abundance of watermelons, kind of like…

Ube Mochi Waffles

Ube is probably one of my al time favorite veggies and I’m always looking of things to do with it but I always end up eating it roasted or air fried by itself because I can’t fathom to mess up the flavor. Well I ordered this purple Ube Flavor to act as food coloring for…

Ube Protein Bites

I had this roasted Ube left over from my baby’s first birthday party and I I’m kinda on a detox after my bestfriend and her family were here visiting; I are all the foods! Well Ube is pretty high in calorie so I generally like to eat it in smaller quantities or mix it with…

Chocolate Protein Belgian Waffles

I was searching for vegan chocolate cake waffles to make my husband for his birthday this morning but struggled to find any recipes that I liked. I tend to eat a lot more when he’s home so I wanted them to be macro friendly. I was feeling adventurous and a little brave this morning and…

Jessi’s Gingerbread Cake

My husband, son and I took a trip to visit my father’s side of the family this week and being vegan can be a challenge in Oklahoma. I’m lucky that they are more than willing to cater to me and my dietary preferences. The only trouble is that most of the sweets are all non…

Fruits & Roots ‘Fried Rice’

Wowzers! The flavors in this dish are phenomenal! Between the sweetness of the fruits, the saltiness of the aminos and the spice from the herbs, you’re palate will be one happy camper! I found the idea for this intending on making this raw Thai Pineapple Parsnip Rice but wanted something warm and I didn’t have…

Vegan Carrot Cake Waffles

Apparently it’s harder to find a good (vegan) waffle recipe than it is to find a good (vegan) pancake recipe. All the ones I’ve found are either too complicated, take too long, are too high calorie, are too soft or too crunchy, etc. I was on a quest this morning to find a more simple…

Quick Vegan BBQ

I wanted to make some more of my Banana Peel Plant-Based Shredded BBQ because I had just froze some bananas and needed to use the peels before they went bad. When I posted my last creation in the FB group, someone responded and told me that I didn’t need to scrape the peel pith off…

Baked Black Cheezecake

With Halloween around the corner, last night I took to the kitchen to make my version of this Double Chocolate Halloween “Cheesecake “ except I wanted it to be pumpkin (because I just baked and puréed a HUGE pumpkin and now I need to use it – zero waste, remember?). I also don’t like raw…

Jamaican Style Lactation Overnight Oats

Since my breastfeeding journey began (a little over 10 weeks ago) I have been on a mission to make sure my production is up to par with babe’s needs. I researched ways to naturally increase supply and have come up with my own little concoction that seems to be working quite well. In the beginning…
